Only when there is peace, when the fruit is ripe, there is the meaning of a good harvest

In his discourse on war and permanent peace, Kant said: "War pushes all human nature to the edge of morality. In war, all laws and morals of human beings are invalid. People have become beasts of the weak and the strong. The war is so cruel, But in the end it is inevitable, it has the meaning of awakening, it uses cruel means to force the awakening of human beings and promote the development of civilization." In this film with only five men, the beautiful Russian countryside is used as a backdrop to set off the war. cruel. The sober carpenter calmly chooses to treat the soldiers he encounters as a human rather than a slaughtered animal. The screenwriter makes good use of two means of accident and conflict to make this war film without a grand war scene so powerful, advocating the ugliness of war and the beauty of peace.

    3.5/5 I've watched a lot of anti-war films in which enemies become friends. This is one of the more restrained and cold ones (I should have watched better than this one, but I can't remember it for a while). Taking off their rational ideology, they are all ordinary people. In life, they are teachers, engineers, butchers, cleaners, drama actors, security guards, and operators. War produces inexplicable hatred and absurdity. I really want to help Margos collect oranges. It's a pity that there is such a large orange orchard. If there were no wars, it is conceivable that the people in the village would live and work in peace and contentment. After the oranges were harvested, they celebrated, friends and neighbors, shopkeepers gathered together, sat under the orange trees, barbecued and drank, people sang and danced by the bonfire, and young people were under the orange trees after the harvest. Fall in love and look forward to the future. There was no sudden shell explosion, the whole village did not emigrate to Estonia, and the hobbled father did not bury his son on the top of the mountain. A person's love for a person can be ruthless, hatred for a person, disappointment or hope for human beings, all come from this.

    Calm and restrained, graceful and moving.
